An Aurora police officer shot a man Wednesday evening while attempting to arrest him on a warrant for domestic violence charges.

Members of Aurora’s SWAT team contacted the suspect about 5:15 p.m. in the 2200 block of Fairplay Street while trying to serve a warrant for his arrest, Officer Ken Forrest told reporters.

The man was armed when officers contacted him, Forrest said. An officer then shot the man, who was transported to a local hospital where he was being treated Wednesday night. A medic with the SWAT team gave the man first aid while they waited for further medical assistance.

Officials would not say what weapon the man had or what happened before the officer shot him. They also declined to give more details about the domestic violence charges. Neither the man who was shot nor the officer who shot him were identified.

No officers were injured in the shooting, the department said. One person is in custody in connection to the incident and police said there was no threat to the public.

Aurora police leadership placed the officer involved in the shooting in a paid administrative assignment.

The incident was captured on officers’ body cameras, the department said.

The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office as well as Aurora and Denver police are investigating the shooting, the release said. The prosecutors’ office requested that no further information be released, according to the Aurora police department.

“The investigation into this incident is in its early stages and much work needs to be done to determine what circumstances led up to this officer-involved shooting,” Forrest said in a news release.

Officials asked that people avoid the area. Police had blocked off a large section of the neighborhood with yellow crime scene tape at 6:30 p.m. One yard within the yellow tape was marked with red tape.

Kids and parents played at a nearby park as police investigated Wednesday evening. One neighbor said that, besides speeding cars, crime is rare in the quiet, residential area.
